The 30 days of service includes 500 outgoing minutes of calls, 500 texts within France, unlimited incoming calls and, if you select a smartphone, 1GB of data. In addition, if you purchase a 3G capable phone, you can add-on 3GB of mobile data at 3G speeds for a total of 4GB.

US Number Add-on

Your basic package includes a French SIM card which makes it convenient for the French locals to call you, it is less convenient for your contacts to reach you from North America. The US number add-on, available during check out, adds a US based phone number to your SIM card. You will still also retain your French phone number. This feature is available for $19 and offers 6 hours of incoming calls to a US number. Each additional bundle is $19. You can also forward your current number to the new US number allowing your contacts to call you on your usual phone number. The US number add-on is an exceptional value and eliminates the need for anyone to pay expensive roaming fees that North American providers charge for using their services abroad. Tip: instead of purchasing additional time to make international calls, get the US number add-on and ask people to call you back!

What phone should I choose?

Our entry level packages are the most popular phones for travelers who need an easy to use, no-nonsense handset that is ideal for making and receiving calls. The Samsung phones are popular for travelers who need data connectivity and of course, the iPhones are great phones if you have the budget.

Will the phone work with other SIM cards?

Yes. All the phones we sell are unlocked and work with other SIM cards.

Will the phone work in the United States and Canada?

The phones will work anywhere in the world with the proper SIM card. The phone comes with a French SIM card which is meant to be used in France. However, if you are taking short excursions outside of France, the SIM card will roam.

How good is the coverage?

The carrier is Bouygues, one of the largest providers in France. Coverage is exceptional. There are, of course, areas where there is limited coverage but as a rule of thumb, where there are people or roads (excluding isolated country roads), there is usually coverage.

Where can I get more talk time?

If you exhaust your current 500 minute bundle, you will be charged the standard rates which are 5 Euro cents to call to North American and 15 Euro cents to call within France. However, you will need to have call credit to do so. Additional credit is available through Cellular Abroad or at most cafés in France.

Will it work as soon as I land at my destination?

Yes it will work. Be sure to follow our activation instructions before you leave for your trip. You will receive the instructions together with your phone and SIM.

How much will it cost people in the USA/Canada to call me on my France number?

That depends on their plan. If this is a concern to you, have them call you on your US number.

Can I keep my usual number?

Yes you can. You can simply forward your current number to your new US number, provided you opted for the US number add-on. Please ask your current carrier how to do this.
